Jerry, MAE of 6.43 today on multiple contracts!!!!!

You take my breath away....

But i guess if you got 'em use 'em.

Actually there are some big traders around who risk $50k per trade. I think they do it on more contracts but tighter stops probably.
It really comes down to your risk tolerance. Once you start trading using risk tolerance rather than stops, you don't have a problem scaling-in multiple contracts. On days like yesterday, it was quite profitable.
